Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Potassium carbonate (0.27 g) and benzyl bromide (0.17 mL) were sequentially added to an N,N-dimethylformamide (2 mL) solution of 7-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxine-6-carbaldehyde (0.23 g), followed by stirring at 65° C. for 2 hours. Benzyl bromide (0.077 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, followed by stirring at 65° C. for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and then water and ethyl acetate were added thereto. The organic layer was separated, washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [eluent: 75-60% hexane/ethyl acetate] to obtain 0.32 g of 7-(benzyloxy)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[1,4]dioxine-6-carbaldehyde as a light yellow solid.
